Cheryl Cole’s music video for Promise This, the lead single from her upcoming album Messy Little Raindrops, premiered last night after The Xtra Factor.

The video keeps a similar theme to the 3 Words era, but also fits the song perfectly. While the song is uptempo, lyrically it’s quite dark and the video enforces this very well.

The Saturdays’ video for the album version of Higher (not featuring Flo Rida), premiered last night. Shot at Fox Studios in L.A., Higher is their most expensive video yet.

The video didn’t involve much of a storyline. The girls seem to be stuck in traffic but they decide to get out of the car and walk instead. They then sing and dance through the streets of fabricated set of New York before arriving at a street party at the end.

The Saturdays official Twitter announced that the Flo Rida version of the video will premiere soon.

Ellie Goulding – “The Writer” Video Premiere

The video for Ellie Goulding’s fourth single, The Writer, from her debut album, Lights, premiered at the weekend. The Writer is one of the best songs on Ellie’s album and more deserving of a single release than previous singles Guns And Horses and Under The Sheets. However, as a fourth single it may struggle to become the hit it deserves to be.

The video is very simple but allows the song to be fully appreciated by not distracting from it. There’s no plot but it shows Ellie walking through a field and walking around a lighthouse while singing the song.

The Writer will be released on August 9th through Polydor Records.

Maroon 5 – “Misery” and “Hands All Over”

Maroon 5 have released the lead single, Misery, from their upcoming third album, Hands All Over. Misery is a typical Maroon 5 song, as it sticks to their unique sound which makes you instantly recognise that it’s Maroon 5 when you listen. While it doesn’t sound very innovative, it’s still a catchy song which is what Maroon 5 have always been about (although this may not be the best song to lead an album with, but it does sound similar to This Love).

The video for Misery premiered recently too. It’s also a typical Maroon 5 video as lead vocalist, Adam Levine, has a love interest as usual. However, this time his love interest treats him badly by beating him, throwing him off buildings, causing him to get knocked down by a car and stabbing his friends while still continuing to display her love for him by kissing him at the same time. It’s quite a funny video while still remaining somewhat true to the lyrics of Misery.

Hands All Over is scheduled for release on September 21st with the following tracklisting:

01. How
02. Never Gonna Leave
03. Wasted Years
04. Last Chance
05. Don’t Know Much About That
06. Out of Goodbyes (featuring Lady Antebellum)
07. I Can’t Lie
08. Give a Little More
09. Misery
10. Stutter
11. Hands All Over
12. Stay Out Of My Life

Katy Perry – “California Gurls” Video Preview

Published June 04th 2010

A short preview of Katy Perry’s video for California Gurls was released. It’s a very candy, plastic and fun-looking video. The video seems to have a good mixture between a candy land theme and a beach theme, which are both very fitting for the song. The end of the preview is the most interesting as it shows Katy behaving like a fembot from the movie Austin Powers, before cutting the teaser reel.

Check it out:

The full video for California Gurls is due to be released soon.
